    Oh, crikey. Nice price fo' sho'!


    I'd pay upwards of a hundred grand for that without hesitation.


    Anything I can drive to the strip, do the standing quarter and then nip in the back for a lovely cup of tea is worth serious mountains of benjamins.

    @Rust-MyEnemyEnjoysPleasure!!!!: Saw a camper conversion of the Zodiac (the one with the ridiculously long hood) like this.


    The British are funny.

    Okay, this is what I would take cross-country.


    I voted Nice Price, even though it isn't, because it's not far shy of five-digit territory - a long way from Crack Pipe in this condition.

    The price is a tad steep in this case and here's why: When mulling over the thought of taking over someone's RV, my germophobia reaches Seinfeldian levels.


    Even assuming he has a reserve around $10K, I'd still have to sink a couple grand in there to re-upholster and rid this car of 35 years of other people's butt-funk and Pomade.


    Thanks, but I'll pass (the pipe).

    Actually, I think Crack Pipe is a bit harsh. Not a nice price, either.


    Really, this is just kind of expensive, even though it is a pretty nice-looking car.

    If I'm going to live in a camper, I'm going to do it right and get a brown Sierra Classic from the 80s. What grille could look better when your drunk-out-of-his-mind punk friend steals your camper house/truck and drives the whole thing through the wall while you're inside listening to the finest hardcore band you area code has to offer? As the last brick topples off of that massive hood, all the thrumming feedback has stopped and you can gladly think to yourself, "I'm glad I sprung for the Sierra Classic".

    Only worth it if filled with licensed Malaysian hookers, each of whom can do that ping-pong ball trick that . . . what, you haven't heard about that? Well, they lay back and - this is good - take a ping-pong ball and . . . what's that? Yes dear. Sorry, the wife just came in. Ask me about that later, it's pretty wild. Anyway, crackpipe.

    Shouldn't the car part have wing mirrors, or wide door mirrors, or something?


    Evidently, the seller has already been on the rocks and decided that what's behind, is behind.

    Oh, BTW those might be factory hubcaps for something, they're not original to this car. Ford didn't use the Blue Oval on its cars in 1973. I think they brought it back in the early 80s but I don't recall, exactly.

    Since the bidding opens at 9k (no bidders yet), and there's no reserve, it might be had for less. This is just too cool for the crackpipe. The camper might be removable, if the car wasn't cut when it was installed. it might sell quicker if that was pointed out in the ad. This is a low miles 4-speed Ranchero here people!

    As a "car", Zarba makes a thorough and convincing argument for crack pipe.


    As a "house" for the financiapocalypse.....depending on your spatial relationship to the precipice, nice price.


    Since we're mostly about cars at the 'Nik, pass the pipe.

    Not a bad abode for the financiapocalypse. When you lose your house, you can still live in relative comfort.


    However, if you're losing your house, you probably don't have $12k+ lying around.


    When your target market is broke, $12,500 is too much money.


    Crack pipe, but at least you can smoke your crack in the relative luxury of your camper.

    Maybe $2k for the camper and $3k for the car (and I'm being generous). Sell them together and I'd like a discount...mainly because I don't see any telescoping supports for that camper, so how do you separate it?


    I'm going Marion Berry on this one.
